How to Choose the Right Security DVR in Boynton Beach, FL

First, ask yourself the question, "What are my key needs in Boynton Beach, FL?" To select the best video recorder for your needs, you must consider the following requirements:

Lifestyle — How much time do you spend at your property in Boynton Beach, FL? Do you travel a great deal? Answering these questions will determine whether or not you need a DVR with a large hard drive. This gives you plenty of recording time so that you can view events that happened weeks earlier.

Remote monitoring — All of our DVRs come ready to connect to the internet. All you need is a high speed DSL or Cable connection at your property in Boynton Beach, FL.

Notification — We highly recommend that a DVR for busy lifestyles in Boynton Beach, FL be equipped with email or SMS notification. DVRs offering these features can be programmed to alert you when suspicious activity occurs. Some DVRs will even send you still shots or video clips of recent activities.

Record times — When it comes to recording capacity, the critical question you need ask yourself is, "If a crime does occur, what is the longest amount of time that passes until I'm notified?" If you're absolutely certain that you be notified within just a few days – even if you're out of town — then almost any sized hard drive will work.

Tip: Don't let conversations go unheard. Most DVRs have audio recording capabilities, allowing you to add a high quality microphone or leverage the microphones built-into your cameras to capture a second dimension of the crime in Boynton Beach, FL.

However, for fraudulent claims against your business in Boynton Beach, FL, you may need to review video evidence up to several weeks after an incident. To protect yourself, the sure bet is to get the largest size hard drive possible.

Tip: Turn your Security DVR into a full time security guard … use alarm inputs, trigger outputs, and motion detection to alert you should something occur.

Selecting the right DVR for you comes down to 3 basic considerations, in the following order:

Triplex vs. Pentaplex Operation

Triplex and Pentaplex are terms indicating how many functions the DVR can perform simultaneously. Both offer simultaneous recording, playback, and remote viewing, while Pentaplex also allows for live viewing and backup at the same time.

For many applications, Triplex operation is sufficient, but a DVR offering Pentaplex operation is recommended if you anticipate that more than one person will be using the DVR simultaneously, such as a store owner and store manager.

Number of Channels

Most DVRs offer inputs for 4, 8, and 16 cameras. Your site survey should provide you with the number of cameras required for sufficient coverage of your property.

Remember, we highly recommend that you purchase a DVR that can record more cameras than you'll think you need.

Many of our customers who opt for the minimum number of cameras quickly see the payback of their security system purchase and want to add more. A small investment in a larger recorder today will save you time and money in the future.

Tip: Be prepared to off load your video (and audio). Keep DVD's and CD's available for quick archiving and sharing of evidence with law enforcement.

Size of Hard Drive

There are five things that effect how long your DVR can record: the hard drive size, number of cameras recording, compression method, video quality, and frame rate.

Based on your site assessment and DVR selection, the number of cameras and compression method are fixed. You can manually adjust your DVR for recorded video quality (or resolution) and frame rate during installation.

Hard Drives

We highly recommend that you purchase a pre-installed hard drive vs. installing one yourself.

There are many benefits to this: The professional grade hard drives that Supercircuits offers are specifically designed for the continuous recording needs of security applications, delivering the ultimate in performance and reliability.

We will format your hard drive, and test all critical functions of the DVR after your hard drive has been installed, FREE of charge.

Networking your DVR

Tip: Hard drives are typically the first component of your system that may fail – so you don't want to skimp out here.

Every DVR includes a simple, step-by-step guide to networking your device so that you can view video from anywhere in the world via the internet.

If you need additional help, our tech support agents are a mouse click away. They can log into your system remotely and do it for you — typically in under 5 minutes.

Accessories

Keep your DVR secure in Boynton Beach, FL!

Cunning criminals, well aware that their actions are being monitored, will do most anything to destroy or prevent you from capturing evidence. At a minimum, your DVR should be tucked away to where it's out of sight and out of mind.

For additional protection, we offer steel lock boxes for your DVR that will not only keep it secure — but the onboard fan will keep it cool.

Never lose power!

More determined criminals will often cut off power to your property in Boynton Beach, FL before gaining entrance, or take advantage of power outages due to natural disasters.

To make sure your DVR continues to record in these situations, a UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) is an absolute must. On average, a small UPS will deliver an extra 30 to 60 minutes of power to both your cameras and DVR.
